EXHIBIT A Legal Description The proposed permit area is a tract of land located approximately three miles north of the Town of Wellington in Larimer County, Colorado. The proposed permit area includes 56.4 acres. According to the Larimer County Assessor's Office, the permit area parcel is owned by William Hilgenberg of WH Property Holdings LLC. The applicant, Connell Resources, Inc. has a lease agreement and Legal Right to Enter for the purposes of mining construction materials (see Exhibit N, Source of Legal Right to Enter). The property is zoned 0-Open, which is intended to accommodate a wide range of development patterns. Mining and on-site processing in Larimer County are allowed in the Open zoning district by Special Review. The applicant has already conducted a Larimer County Special Review Permit pre-application meeting with Larimer County Community Development staff. Quarter, quarter section description of the proposed permit area: Primarily in the northwest quarter (NWl/a) of Section ten (10), Township Nine North (T9N), Range Sixty-Eight West (R68W) of the Sixth Principal Meridian (6th P.M.), Larimer County, State of Colorado. However, a small portion of the proposed permit area extends into the NEl/a of Section 10 and the southern half of Section 3, T9N, R68W of the 6th P.M. Latitude/Longitude of main entrance: The 5J Pit site entrance shall be onto Larimer County Road 5J. 40.76244°N -104.99228°W The main 5J Pit entrance will enter Larimer County Road (LCR) 5J from the southeast corner of the proposed permit area. Description of proposed permit boundary: The proposed 5J Pit permit boundary contains approximately 56.4 acres. The boundary is consistent with the parcel property line on the south, northwest and east sides. Although the proposed western permit boundary follows the parcel property line along the northwestern part of the site, on the southwestern part of the site the proposed permit boundary is located to exclude property owner infrastructure. Affected Land Boundary Definition Although the proposed permit acreage is approximately 56.4 acres, only about 40 acres are currently planned for mining. However, the affected land boundary essentially follows the permit boundary to allow for reclamation activities and future potential mining and processing operations. Areas not disturbed by mining may be disturbed by access roads, stockpiles, material processing, or backfilling and other reclamation related activities. The remaining area will consist of setbacks and road and utility rights-of-way. SJ Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 1
